How I became better than the colleague who reads everything and knows nothing

In July, TGLF’s Reda Sadki shared his first experience of working with Ms. #Claude_Cardot on #qualitative_research. That article told the story from the human side: what it takes to direct, verify, and learn from an agentic colleague. Ms. Cardot is TGLF’s first AI co-worker, hired in March. This one hands her the pen. […]

How I ‘distilled’ my most trusted mentor into an #agentic_AI skill – and what the science of human simulacra says about whether I should have At 8:54 p.m. on a Friday, I asked a machine a hard question about our foundation. The machine answered in the voice of Karen E. Watkins. Karen is the […]

#Artificial_intelligence for #Global_health: a tragedy of the commons brewing in Geneva’s basement

In “The Machine in Geneva’s Basement”, Rifat Hossain sets the scene for the potential impact of #Artificial_Intelligence on the #World_Health_Organization (WHO) with a story. A ministry official points a general-purpose assistant at WHO’s own open guidance library and has a serviceable national protocol before lunch. If this is possible, he asks, why […]

You cannot send an AI agent to jail: the scariest quotes from the #agentic_AI Summit in Berkeley

On 1 and 2 August 2026, close to five thousand people gathered at the University of California, Berkeley for the second #Agentic_AI_Summit, hosted by the Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence. More than 1,500 companies and 250 universities were represented. The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF) was there. Background: The agentic AI revolution: what does […]

#Microsoft Wants to ’Make People Addicted’ to its New #AI Assistant, Internal Documents Reveal
▻https://www.404media.co/microsoft-wants-to-make-people-addicted-to-scout-its-new-ai-assistant-inter

An internal Microsoft #strategy document says that the plan for its just-announced “#Scout” personal #assistant AI is to “make people #addicted” to the tool before rolling out additional functionality, 404 Media has learned. “Three phases from #addictive app to #agentic platform,” the documentation.

Microsoft has been piloting Scout as an internal tool for employees it was calling “#ClawPilot,” since March. ClawPilot—and now Scout—are part of “Project Lobster,” which is a Microsoft plan to bring the popular #OpenClaw AI tool to its #Microsoft_365 suite of products in a way that nontechnical people can use. It is not particularly notable that Microsoft is developing new AI tools—the company has reoriented almost everything it does to focus on AI, and every major AI company has tried to figure out how to bring AI agents into their products after OpenClaw went viral earlier this year. OpenClaw allows users to create AI agents that can act on behalf of the person using it; it can send emails, edit calendars, publish blog posts, and more. What is notable is that the explicit goal of the people developing the product is to addict its users. Microsoft officially announced Scout Tuesday as an “always-on personal agent” that runs on OpenClaw and is integrated into Microsoft #365.

#AI_agents can now cost more than the humans they were supposed to replace

A growing body of analysis is puncturing one of enterprise AI’s core assumptions: that #automation is inherently #cheaper than #headcount , with fully loaded #agentic AI costs regularly exceeding equivalent #human #labor for complex, multi-step knowledge work tasks.

The first thing we’ve built is an app called #Attie, named after the #AT_Protocol. Attie is an #agentic #social #app and custom #feed builder. It feels more like having a conversation than configuring software. You describe the sort of posts you want to see, and the #coding #agent builds the feed you described. Attie lives as a separate app, and using it is entirely your choice. #Bluesky will continue to evolve as a social app millions of people rely on. Attie will be where we experiment with agentic social.

"Computer security has evolved over the decades," the authors wrote. "We addressed availability despite failures through replication and decentralization. We addressed confidentiality despite breaches using authenticated encryption. Now we need to address integrity despite corruption." "Trustworthy AI #agents require integrity because we can’t build reliable systems on unreliable foundations. The question isn’t whether we can add integrity to AI but whether the architecture permits integrity at all."

The #agentic_AI revolution: what does it mean for #workforce_development?
▻https://redasadki.me/2025/07/16/the-agentic-ai-revolution-what-does-it-mean-for-workforce-development

Imagine hiring an assistant who never sleeps, never forgets, can work on a thousand tasks simultaneously, and communicates with you in your own language. Now imagine having not just one such assistant, but an entire team of them, each specialized in different areas, all coordinating seamlessly to achieve your goals. This is the “agentic revolution” —a transformation where AI systems become agents that can understand objectives, remember context, plan actions, and work together to complete complex tasks. It represents a shift from AI as a tool you use to AI as a workforce that you collaborate with. Understanding AI agents: More than chatbots When most people think of AI today, they think of ChatGPT or similar systems—you ask a question, you get an answer. That interaction ends, and the (...)

AI agents wrong ~70% of time: #Carnegie_Mellon study • The Register
▻https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/29/ai_agents_fail_a_lot

IT consultancy #Gartner predicts that more than 40 percent of #agentic #AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 due to rising costs, unclear business value, or insufficient risk controls.

That implies something like 60 percent of #agentic_AI projects would be retained, which is actually remarkable given that the rate of successful task completion for #AI_agents, as measured by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and at Salesforce, is only about 30 to 35 percent for multi-step tasks.
